I used to work for an apple reseller.

Apple devs were fairly normal people and were totally honest with us during developer training. I would happily have a beer with them

Some Apple sales managers were absolute cocks though. One of them treated me like an idiot one week in front of customers when I defended windows on Mac, and the next week, he was talking like he was a genius and repeated every argument I made the week before.

Apple talks lots of s*** about Linux. Absolutely don't buy an Apple if you want a Linux system. The Asahi devs deserve a lot of respect though
